I used it to cook fish and it worked great! It was really easy to clean up.

The seller that I bought these pans from provided no information regarding use and care what so ever with my pans. Fortunately, I had owned a pan like this many years ago so I was comfortable using them without instruction. I honestly don't know if they can be put in the oven but I'm a little confused about why you'd ask since the whole purpose of these pans is basically to "bake" on the stove top. They really are wonderful and easy to use. I hope this helps.

Personally I would never consider cutting it. I don't know what it would do but I know they stress not to ever cut anything on it with a knife. I would recommend buying a perforated pan (the one with all the tiny holes). I think those pans truly are what these silicon mats are meant to be used with. Sil-Eco makes a perforated pan that has big enough measurements for these mats for about $15 on Amazon. I have a similar one I bought elsewhere and the holes makes for some nice even baking.

I never had any luck baking in this oven. Same problems you're having, especially with breads and cakes. Chicken, pork chops, roasts, and fish work best. With bread, I had to do some trial and error with the time and also do the last five minutes after turning the loaf upside down to complete the baking.

Although I have never used them to bake in, I would think that it'd be fine to bake in them. They take a lot of heat in the frying pan so why not in the oven?

Yes...it's awesome for everything but broiling and grilling (too hot of a direct heat). If you roast veggies tossed in oil or bake chicken, or any other thing where oil is involved, they are much harder to clean and they darken over time, but it has not affected performance for me. I have had mine for about 4 years. Just use Dawn or some other soap that really cuts grease and a scrub sponge designed for nonstick cookware along with some elbow grease and they will clean up, but they do darken with such use. It is still a snap to clean compared to a roasting pan with its burnt-on gunk! Do not hesitate. I use mine for roasting four times as often as I bake with them...maybe more.

I don't know yet about fried chicken - I only made chicken marsala with it. It was yummy according to my husband!

I have not baked cakes, but have baked chicken and it has worked fine. I do not see why it would not work for cakes, since it has a baking feature. Just adjust the trays and bake according to the recipes instructions. Worse case scenario, make a couple of cup cakes to try ot out. Good luck!

If you have something super sticky - ie a honey soy glaze for chicken wings, then I line the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil - same as I would for my flat bottomed pans. Otherwise I have not had a problem cleaning or cooking. If something is baked on, I let it soak with some hot water before I clean it. I do like the pans - very heavy grade. I make alot of chicken wings and they clean up nicely - including the rack.

Can you cook on these ? They are for a play kitchen they are tiny ...I'm giving them to my son for Christmas and I don't think we will be doing any real cooking with them . They do feel like a regular pan you might be able to get away with it ;)

I never rinse them or soak them; use them full strenght, but only use a Tbsp or 2 depending on your taste. Chop them on a cutting board. Never add extra salt as they have plenty. I use them mostly in stir fry. Be sure to check your recipe. I use them with pork & chicken; but there are endless opportunities. Everything is to taste.

Hi Patricia, you definitely wouldn't want to put the baking mats directly under the broiler filament or any direct source of heat. They are designed only for ovens. Hope this helps! The StarPack Team

Yes.I bake chicken with the rack all the time.That way when you bake with your own breading the breading doesn't get soggy baking in it's own grease.great for fish too.

You can but wouldn't recommend doing so, the chicken that we have used it on turns out very dry, and soaks up a lot of oil, not sure about pork chops.

Sure, just be sure to flour the mat beforehand as well as the cookie cutters and then proceed. This mat is very durable and great for pie crusts, biscuits, cookies and more.

It would be up to you but in my experience you use items specifically made for the purpose to grill with. The unpredictable heat and the grease would be a problem.This is a beautiful, hand-thrown pottery bowl, produced by a family company in North Carolina, not a cheap bowl from China. It recommends on the box and in the directions that to have it last very long you put it into a cold oven and let the temperature come up gradually. I have only used mine once so far, but it does what it says it does and beautifully.If you want to do a chicken that way on the grill - use a metal pan and a beer can.

Angela, I'm not sure about "organic" foodstuff like chicken , meats and veggies, because the sides are too low, especially for chicken (parts), and the pans (my Moms' Nordicware) that I use for roasting veggies, I use either non-stick foil or "silicon baking pads." Just to be on the safe side, I wouldn't use these pans for chicken/veggies--that shine is priceless!
